A Pittsford man charged with murdering his girlfriend on Friday will appear in court this afternoon to answer to a charge of second-degree murder.

Vermont State Police say they arrested Christopher Sharrow, 35, early Friday morning after discovering his girlfriend and the mother of his two children, 32-year-old Kristen Parker, dead on the floor of their home on West Cree Road in Pittsford.

Police say Sharrow killed Parker, who he had been dating for five years, during a domestic dispute at their home.

Police have not revealed the manner in which Sharrow allegedly killed Parker.
